Which coupler is on your machine?

Pick the system on your machine and we put it in your enquiry. We check the bracket before we send the quote.

How to measure your coupler
213

Not sure which system it is? Three measurements tell us which bracket you need.

  1. Measure the diameter of both pins.
  2. Measure the distance between the pin centres.
  3. Measure the width between the inside faces of the ears.

If the coupler has a make or type printed on it, send that too.

Send me the spec sheet for my machine

Pick a bucket line and we email you its spec sheet, with the sizes we build for the EW160E.

What the EW160E figures mean for its attachments

  • The main pump delivers up to 275 l/min at 340 bar. That is the pump output of the whole machine, not the flow an attachment gets.
  • Volvo lists this quick coupler for it: S60 system. The bracket on every attachment has to match the coupler.The attachments we build with S60 brackets
  • It digs down to 5,700 mm. That is the deepest trench it can open.
  • Its maximum reach is 9,600 mm.
  • It dumps at up to 7,480 mm, so a truck or skip side has to sit below that height.
  • Volvo offers arms from 2,000 to 3,100 mm. A longer arm reaches further, a shorter one handles a heavier bucket.
  • Bucket breakout force is 126 kN. That is the force a bucket or ripper works with at the tooth.
  • Volvo gives a lifting capacity of 5,900 kg. Check a heavy grab or hammer, plus its load, against the full load chart.
  • For transport it measures 8,240 x 2,540 x 3,140 mm (length, width, height).
  • Engine power is 115 kW.

EW160E: what the brochure names

Features Volvo names in its own brochure for the EW160E. Some of them may be optional, so check the machine's spec before you order.

  • Work modes you select from the cab.
  • Operator protection certified to ROPS and FOPS.
  • An engine that meets EU Stage V.
  • A two-piece boom.

Before you order: check the interface

The weight class of the Volvo EW160E sizes the attachment. It does not tell you the pin diameter, the pin spacing or the stick width, and those decide whether an attachment fits. Measure them on the machine, or send us the measurements of the bucket it runs today.

At this weight the choice is mostly about the material. A general purpose bucket suits soil and gravel, a reinforced bucket with thicker wear parts suits mixed ground and broken rock, and the quick coupler on the machine sets the bracket every attachment needs.

Quick coupler brackets at this weight

In our model tables, the attachments listed for the Volvo EW160E at its weight are built with these brackets. Each code opens the models that list it.

  1. Measure the diameter of both bucket pins.
  2. Measure the distance between the pin centres.
  3. Measure the inside width between the stick ears.
  4. If the machine runs a quick coupler, note its make and type.
